Chslsvorth, the next sts- ton east of Forest, was SIX miles of and | the run there was made in
 SEVEN MINUTES.

 FIKRCELY BURNING EMsERs. Everywhere in the wreck were wounded and unhurt men, women and children, whose lives could have been saved if they could have been gotten out, but whose death, and death in the most hor- rible form, was certain. The twisted wood of the broken cars caught tire and
